How a SKS M59/66 works

The SKS is a Soviet semi-automatic carbine chambered for the 7.62×39mm round, designed in 1943 by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov. Its complete designation, SKS-45, is an initialism for Samozaryadny Karabin sistemy Simonova, 1945 (Russian: Самозарядный карабин системы Симонова, 1945; Self-loading Carbine of (the) Simonov system, 1945). The SKS-45 was manufactured at Tula Arsenal from 1949 to 1958 and at Izhevsk Arsenal in just 1953 and 1954, resulting in a total Soviet production of about 2.7 million carbines. In the early 1950s, the Soviets took the SKS carbine out of front-line service and replaced it with the AK-47; however, the SKS remained in second-line service for decades.

Great video, and a spectacular rifle with the correct rifleman. Thanks Sergey Simonov

The one I have was made in Russia in 1953. SKS-45. It was built at Tula. Good rifle. Bought it in 1994 for $100.00.

Haha if you can weld or glue the firing pin so it stays in the fire position it will slam fire like full auto

How to break your gun 101

[@sethery7826]

So the piston drives the bcg back? Or does it unlock it so it can blow back from the pressure? Or a bit of both?

[@BigLisaFan]

Piston drives the breech block carrier back unlocking the breech block.

[@ivanivanovic5857]

That little hook on the bolt carrier lifts up the bolt out of the hole it falls down into, allowing it to move back.

[@jotarokujo5893]

its yugoslavian

[@seal7144]

The model of rifle featured in this video, the M59/66, is a Yugoslavian version of the SKS, which is a Russian design. There are small but important differences.

[@pavelmorozov6599]

this one is neither lol

[@muratcelik9280]

Wow

[@jotarokujo5893]

its not an SKS M59/66,its PAP M59/66

[@seal7144]

Miki Krofna You are correct, but it utilizes a nearly identical design. And technically, it’s a PAP M59/66 A1. The A1 is the only variant with flip up night sights.

[@jotarokujo5893]

@@seal7144 true,however,SKS is a Soviet model,and PAP is Yugoslavian model. No matter how identical they are,they are still two diffrent models and seeing people putting it under the same name is rlly dumb

[@polishmafia1573]

I don’t understand why the bolt gets locked back after the last round...

[@seal7144]

Do you not understand the reason behind the design or do you not understand how it does so?
A bolt locking back on an empty magazine is useful in combat situations because it allows loading the firearm to be easier, especially in top loading guns like the SKS.
This model does so via part of the magazine follower, which prevents the bolt from going forward when empty.

[@polishmafia1573]

Nathan I got it guys, I just completely over thought it.

[@CrossOfBayonne]

Would you choose an SKS or M1 carbine

[@bikerlad3138]

Depends on situation.
Survival - SKS
Battle - M1 carbine

[@bravo-six1941]

M1 is light from my experience, I have never held an SKS though

[@stanislavkogan]

7.62x39 is a much more powerful cartridge than .30 carbine. Draw your own conclusions.

[@jcjcjunk1881]

Sks because of its beyonet bonus

[@CrossOfBayonne]

@@jcjcjunk1881 M1 Carbines can fit bayonets too.

[@muratcelik9280]

[@iamthomaschoo]

So it's a delayed blowback

[@stanislavkogan]

No, it's a short stroke gas piston. The video shows the gas system at 2:10.
